Lonely Planet review for Kothari’s Patwa Haveli Museum
Most magnificent of all the havelis, its stonework like honey-coloured lace, Patwa-ki-Havel i towers over a narrow lane. It was built between 1800 and 1860 by five Jain brothers who were brocade and jewellery merchants. It’s most impressive from the outside. The first of the five sections is opened as the privately owned Kothari’s Patwa Haveli Museum, which richly evokes 19th-century life. Next door is the forlorn and empty (apart from pigeons and bats) government-owned haveli.
